Favicon Generator

About the Favicon Generator

A favicon (short for "favorite icon") is the small icon that appears in browser tabs, bookmarks, and search results next to your website's name. It's a key part of your site's branding and user experience. We built this tool to be the only favicon generator you'll ever need, providing everything for modern websites in one simple package.

This isn't just a simple image resizer. You can upload your logo, an image, or even just type text, and then customize it with a background color and rounded corners. The tool instantly generates all the necessary file sizes, from the classic `favicon.ico` to high-resolution icons for Apple and Android devices, and even creates the `site.webmanifest` file for you. The entire process runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to a server.

How to Use the Tool

• Upload an Image or Enter Text: Start by dragging an image onto the upload area, browsing for a file, or simply typing text into the "Optional Text" field.
• Customize Your Icon: Use the interactive cropper to zoom and position your image. Adjust the background color, border radius, and text options to get the perfect look.
• Preview the Result: The live previews on the right show you exactly how your favicon will look in a search result, a browser tab, and as a home screen icon.
• Download the Package: Click the "Download Favicons" button to get a `.zip` file containing all the necessary icon files and the `site.webmanifest`.
• Add to Your Website: Unzip the file and upload the contents to the root directory of your website. Then, copy the generated HTML code and paste it into the `` section of your site.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a favicon?

A favicon is a small icon file containing one or more icons, which is used to represent a website or a web page. It is the icon you see in the browser tab, in your bookmarks, and in Google search results. It is a crucial part of your website's branding.

What are all the different favicon sizes for?

Modern websites need several icon sizes to look great on all devices. `16x16` and `32x32` are for browser tabs. `apple-touch-icon.png` (180x180) is for when users save your site to their iPhone or iPad home screen. The `android-chrome` icons (192x192 and 512x512) are for Android devices and are defined in the `site.webmanifest` file.

Do I still need a `favicon.ico` file?

Yes, it's still a good idea. While modern browsers prefer PNG favicons (like `favicon-32x32.png`), some older browsers and web crawlers will only look for the classic `favicon.ico` file in your site's root directory. Including it provides the best compatibility. Our tool automatically generates this for you.

What is a `site.webmanifest` file?

A `site.webmanifest` is a modern standard that tells browsers how your website should behave when a user "installs" it or adds it to their home screen. It defines things like the app name, start URL, and, most importantly, the location of the high-resolution icons for Android Chrome.

Are my images kept private?

Yes, your privacy is 100% guaranteed. This tool operates entirely in your web browser. All image processing and file generation happens on your own computer. Your images are never sent to or stored on our servers.
